Maria​Valle

​Democratic Party

I arrived from Puerto Rico and came to live on Colorado Avenue and then moved to Father Panik Village in 1959. I attended Waltersville School, Saint Mary’s School, graduated from Harding High School, and I studied Human Services in Springfield College. I currently reside in the East Side, where I have owned my own home since 1981. I am married to Jorge Valle. We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.​My involvement in the community through various organizations has prepared me to see first-hand the needs of our community; from public safety, education, housing, health and employment. My involvement with Habitat For Humanity, Bridgeport Enterprise Zone, Swim Across the Sound, East Side Community Council, Greater Bridgeport Partnership Program, BCAC brought to my life a wealth of information and awareness. This “university of life” allowed me to be of great service to many in my community

I believe that there are many problems facing Bridgeport today, from high taxes to the education system…it’s a long road. Specifically, I will support and advocate with and for the Board of Education in assuring that adequate funding is channeled to the schools. Our children deserve and need the funding to help them achieve their dreams and aspiration regardless of their social economic background.

I plan to keep our constituents informed about my actions as a City Council member through social media, take a street or two per month (weather permitting) and knock on those doors and let them know that we are here to address their concerns; I also plan to request permission from our local radio station for an opportunity to address our residents (Christian radio station as well…English and Spanish).
